WISE Twin Cities gathered with 90+ industry professionals and leaders for a great evening of networking, mentoring and connecting! We had mentees representing 30+ organizations and mentors featured from national sports teams, Twin Cities venues, and local universities covering a variety of roles and experience.
This interactive event brought us up close and personal with industry leaders and peers through meaningful discussion around relevant topics, career journeys and professional development. This fast-paced, engaging event provided our members with a seat at the table. 12 mentors rotated through roundtables to allow each peer group to gain different perspectives from our mentors.
